Over the last two years we have been thoughtfully compiling the blend – Dabinett (50%), Harry Masters Jersey (37.5%), Foxwhelp (7.5%) and Ellis Bitter (5%) of which only the Foxwhelp had seen the inside of a barrel.
This cider is autumn in a glass. Golden in colour, yellow in its fruit and aromatics, deep with bold ripe tannins. It truly is a cider for the table, pairing magically with the likes of Asian pork rolls or closer to home, some fine, hard, salty cheese.

19/3/2021. 110ml bottle at Little Pomona's Some Like It Still! zoom tasting. Pours clear dark gold with no head. Aroma is fleshy apple, apricot, flowers, leather, honey, touch earthy and woody. Leather and honey develops more as it warms in the glass. Bittersweet. Medium body. Still. Dry tannic slightly bitter finish. Very nice.
